Dave,

This is most likely the reason for the other errors you are getting (about minimum update times). The "other" Eric is out for a couple of days maybe he will have more insight...

I don't know if it means anything, but I am also getting a lot of messages like the one below:

I have tried a number of things over the weekend, but none seem to change the problem I am seeing. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I am stumped at the moment.

Hi Sheraz,

Yes you can (in 0.23 or greater) capture nagios performance data.

Go to "PerfConf" tab. You will see a link near the top which will take you to the template presently used for this device. Either click on the
link, or create a copy of that template for the device.

Add a new data source called "check_ping".  Select that new data
source.  Change the type from SNMP to "COMMAND".

Use this as your command template:

check_ping -H ${here/manageIp} -w 100,20% -c 500,60% -p 5 | sed 's/,
RTA = /|RTA=/'

Save the data source. Add a data point below the data source called "RTA".

That bit of ugliness with "sed s/.... " is necessary because check_ping
doesn't emit the right form for a nagios performance statistic.  If
check_ping ever emits a value like "1.2 s" then you are going to get
strange results, but I bet it's always in milliseconds.

Restart zencommand from the About page for the config to take effect
right away.

Note that if you do this at the /Device/Server level, all the devices
that use that template will now be monitored by check_ping.

You may have to edit the zproperty "zCommandPath" if you installed
zenoss somewhere besides /usr/local/zenoss, or you can give the full
path to check_ping.it

You will have to add your new data source to a graph to see it displayed.

hi,
how can i use nagios plugins to graph the performance data?
for example i m monitoring one of my netork device on which for some
reasons i dont want to enable snmp. I'll do
check_ping -H 10.200.1.1 -w 100.0,20% -c 500.0,60% -p 5
PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 45.35 ms
Now how would i graph the response times?

Similarly if i am monitoring some web server or ftp server how would i
graph the performance data usinf the zcommand plugin.

Is there any detailed document for the zcommand plugin ( i mean to ask the detailed usage of nagios and cacti plugins as implemnted in zencommand)
and zperfxml plugin.

Is there any doument specifing the meaning of the fields found in RRD templates. Lets say i want to alter the default ethernet graph template is there a doucment specifing the what fields in RRD template does what?

thanks
